Been taking Bystolic for three weeks, good BP results; however diarrhea has been an issue. Anyone else with this side effect and will it go away as my body adjusts to the new med. ## Bystolic contains the active ingredient Nebivolol, which is a beta blocker and yes, it can cause diarrhea in some people, but that should ease as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if it it doesn't, or if it become worse, you should contact your doctor. Are there any other questions? ## Thanks for replying. How long wiill it take to adjust to this med. Sorry if I seem ignorant on this issue. ## Jackie, it usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks and the way you can usually tell is that will be the time when the side effects also seem to be at their worst.

Can Bystolic cause an inflamed liver? Also,can it make your extremities like feet,fingers,and legs painful? My husband has been on this med for approx.3 years. ## Hello, Mimi! How are you and your husband doing? Most medications are processed through the liver and may cause problems, but only a doctor can tell him for sure if it's due to the Bystolic or something else. What type of pain is he getting, is it numbness, as if they are too cold? Blood pressure and cardiac medications, such as this one, work by affecting circulation, so some of them can cause these types of problems, I've had it happen myself. One was so severe that I had to stop taking it. Learn more Bystolic details here. What does his doctor feel is causing the problems he's experiencing? Is this the only medi...

I currently take Losartan in the AM. Within two hours I have severe back pain which wears off in about five hours. Is there any reason I shouldn't take this Losartan in the PM so that I am sleeping when I have this back pain? I don't have the pain when I am at rest, only when I walk around. ## I am now taking the losartan at night and so far, it's working fine and I am having no back pain. ## Hi, Gaily! How are you doing, now? It might be a better idea to speak to your doctor about it and try a different medication. The reason they usually want you to take medications such as this in the morning are so that they can help control your blood pressure or cardiac condition during the day, when you are normally the most active and will experience the most fluctuations. At night, ...

I have taken this drug for 2 years and the last time I refilled it look completely different. Its much smaller and its a small round pill that has Z3 stamped on one side. I want to make sure it the right pill. ## Hello, Dennis! How are you? Sorry about the confusion, I'm happy to help clear this up for you. Amlodipine is actually a generic medication and once a drug is available as a generic, it is usually manufactured by several different companies, this helps to create market competition to keep prices lower…. but in case of emergency, they are all required to use unique imprints on the tablets, so they can be identified and traced back to the appropriate manufacturer, so in regards to some medications, there could be 10 different tablets available that all contain the same ...

Is there any difference in these to metoprolol 50 mg pills? I am prescribed C74 and my mother is prescribed M32. ## Hi, Strawberry! How are you? Your doctor doesn't actually prescribe you any specific tablet with a certain marking. They prescribe the medication and dosage, the tablet you actually when you get it filled by your pharmacy depends on which one they have in stock, because it can vary depending on what company was offering the cheapest price, when they re-ordered from their distributor. Both the tablet that you've received with the C 74 marking on it and the M32 tablet that your mother received from her pharmacy contain 50mgs of Metoprolol, they are just manufactured by different companies. This is very common when a medication is available as a generic. It creates so...

My 35 year old son has HBP and high heart rate. . He used to take Bystolic but then lost his insurance and couldn't go to dr. Hasn't taken medicine for 8 months. His BP ran around 165/110 - sometimes higher. Heart rate has gone up to 175. He finally started back on Bystolic last week. Today his BP was 140/90. Much better, but still too high. How long to know if he is taking dufficient dose? ## Hello, JS! How are you and your son? That is a very good improvement over 165/110! I'm glad it's already working so well for him.

The bottle from last month for my b.pressure medication lists the name as Metoprol but the bottle I just picked for this month lists the name Metoprolol and the pills aren't the same. I switched to a new pharmacy this month and I thought that might be the reason the pills are different. I am not able to go home now and compare the pills by searching for the description. I have one in my daily medication box and I did search it and it came back as a generic version of Lopressor. I feel my pulse is racing and that my B.P. is going up and I know I NEED to take it now. Is Lopressor in both of the medications I listed above? ## Lopressor is just a brand name for Metoprolol, so yes, these medications are all the same. The one listed as Metoprol was just an abbreviation. Learn more Metopro...

I am a 69 year old male who experienced upper gastric pain and was prescribed Mucosta t.i.d. times 7 days. After the very first dose of 1 tablet I began serious side effects: hypertension, constipation, inability to concentrate and panic attacks related to my inability to stop the effect of the drug. Depression and inability to experience happiness, or pleasure. I suspect my hypersensitivity may be related to the fact that I have genetically evolved essential tremor for which I have taken Corgard/Nadalol 40 mg for the past 20 years. WHAT IS THE HALF LIFE of Mucosta? I was given a 40 mg dose of Pantoloc which I also stopped taking after the first pill. I switched back to Omeprazole 20 mg which I took before with no problems and it seems to have ended the gastric pain.

GGL7==BLANK 93===787 Z==99= 3 pills description of both sides=these are supposed to be Atenolol, why different #s on these, are they all the same=the z/99 pill is a little bigger ## Yes, they are all 25mgs of Atenolol. The reason for the different numbers is because the US FDA requires all prescription medications to have unique imprints in order to identify the active ingredient, dosage and manufacturer, so if they are made by different companies, then the imprint will be different. Atenolol is a generic for Tenormin, it is used to treat various cardio-vascular diseases, including hypertension. Common side effects may include: nausea, headache, dizziness and hair loss.

Hi I'm 21 year old mum and from cambridge. I started the anti-biotics metronidazole 400g and doxycycline 100g 6days ago because my doctor thinks I've got some sort of infection after an examination.
